The Kiwoom Heroes announced Friday that the club has signed former major leaguer Kang Jung-ho for the league minimum 30 million won ($25,000).
Besieged by mounting criticism over his past drunk driving cases, embattled former big leaguer Kang Jung-ho has abandoned his comeback bid with the top Korean league.
Former major leaguer Kang Jung-ho kicked off his bid to return to the KBO with a press conference on Tuesday where he apologized for the lengthy rap sheet that caused him to lose his U.S. visa and ultimately crash out of the MLB.
Former major league player Kang Jung-ho told his ex-KBO club Kiwoom Heroes on Thursday that he'd like to rejoin the team once his one-year suspension, stemming from past drunk driving cases, ends in 2021.
